micheinnz, posted here so I'll remember them.I was just reading something a friend wrote, talking about some significant backstory in zir life, and why zie doesn't usually talk about it. The reasons made sense, and I might well make the same choice in that situation—and I'm feeling honored that I'm one of the people zie has talked to about this, that it was worth it to zir to do that.

As members of the Bronx Zoo, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and I get Wildlife Conservation magazine.
When the most recent issue turned up with "Last Issue" on an extra page pasted in front of the cover, my first thought was "don't bother me, we've already renewed."
Then we took a closer look. It's not the last issue of our subscription. It's the last issue of the magazine. After 112 years and two name changes, the zoo is folding the magazine.
Email and the web site will keep members informed of what's going on at the zoo, but we won't be getting the nice little articles about GPS tracking of mountain goats, or the nice pictures of tigers or sea turtles.
The editorial explained that this was a consequence of the current bad economy. I don't think that's all of it, as they'd reduced the frequency in the last few years, but it's certainly a factor. But if the choice is folding the magazine or giving a porcupine a pink slip, they're doing the right thing.
Alas.

I'm likely to be cross-posting for a while, perhaps a very long while. Feel free to comment either place. (I don't have filters set up here yet, so some things will likely be LJ-only until I get that sorted out. And sometimes I may forget to post here. So it goes.)
One note already: there's no place to enter tags with this configuration; I'm going to go back and add those at each website after it posts. But that will make me less likely to cross-post this way, rather than by copying and pasting.
Addendum: Unfortunately, Semagic doesn't seem to be set up to handle a user having the same username at two different sites, so as long as I'm using it to post to LJ with this name I'll be able to cross-post with Semagic, but not use it to post only here.
